“Had my hair cut by Jordan today and I couldn't be happier with the result. He really took the time to understand what I wanted, explained his approach along the way, and offered genuinely helpful advice. It felt like more than just a typical barber experience. I’m really pleased with the cut and will definitely be a regular from now on. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been going here for little under a year now and I’m more and more impressed every time. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, and Helen has done an incredible job with my tattoo removal and laser hair removal. So so grateful for all of their hard work. :)”

“Fantastic magician! Kept all the kids engaged from start to finish and was very patient with them. Highly recommend!”

“We booked David for a five hour set for our wedding reception, and could not have been happier. Communicating with him in the lead-up to the day was super easy and stress-free. We had a great consultation which left us feeling like he really understood what we were going for in terms of the types of music and the crowd. On the day he absolutely nailed it, incorporating our 'must plays' in really seamlessly and playing a great blend of music that appealed to our whole range of guests. We and all of our guests had a blast and David absolutely kept the dancefloor full until midnight. So many of our guests spoke to us after to say how great they thought he was. Can't recommend him enough!”

“Excellent customer service , staff take time to know about you before making your purchase .”

“Carina has done 2 of the most excellent photoshoots for us. A newborn shoot capturing the whole family as well as our new arrival and a cake smash which was incredible and tailored to exactly what we wanted. I cannot recommend her enough to capture all those precious family moments!”

“Ordered a pastel pink and white hatbox for my sister’s birthday. The delivery was excellent and the flowers were so beautiful. My sister was absolutely thrilled and so am I!”

“I couldn't recommend Alison highly enough as the flowers for my wedding were absolutely perfect. Communication was excellent, we had several calls where Alison gave great advice and recommendations and she delivered my vision perfectly. I couldn't fault a thing!”

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Edit Suits for the groom’s attire for our August wedding. They were highly professional and incredibly attentive to detail, ensuring everything was just right. One of the things we truly appreciated was that tailoring is included in the price – something that doesn’t usually happen with bridal attire – which meant one less thing to worry about during wedding planning. We felt completely confident that they would deliver, and they absolutely did. The suit looked perfect, and we couldn’t be happier with their service. Ben provided brilliant service. Highly recommended!”

“I had HD brows & Biab Gel manicure with design at Bella spa Manchester City Centre amazing and quick service and came out even better than I wanted them too!! Exactly like my inspo photo. So worth it!!”

“My Daughter absolutely loves her hair cut and blow dry. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks”

“Had my haircut today from Kofi. One of the best skin fades I've ever had, very good trim! Kofi is a great bloke and I felt very comfortable with him throughout the cut. Will definitely be back soon! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a new barber”

“Sylvia and her team cleaned our 5 beds house on Saturday so we could handover a clean place to our buyers. Her attention to detail was excellent. She clearly really cares about providing excellence and has great work ethic. Her team were incredibly polite and, under her leadership, provided great results. Our buyers were delighted; thank you Sylvia and team!!”

“I’ve been getting flowers from The Flower Girl for years and I honestly can’t recommend enough! The flowers are always breathtaking and beautiful. The bouquets are unique and also they last for ages. I now only get my flowers here and wouldn’t go anywhere else. She is quick to reply and so helpful with any questions too”

“We ordered funeral flowers from Carol as we had recently received a sympathy arrangement through her and had been really impressed by the freshness of the flowers. The photo shows the flowers two weeks later- like a slow explosion. Carol has since told us that her flowers are fresh in every day. Carol was very kind and helpful when we made the order and the funeral arrangement is gorgeous. We recommend Carol’s florist to everyone.”

“Absolutely over the moon with my latest bouquets. Every time I've bought flowers from Blooms, I have not been disappointed. They are beautiful, fresh and last. I made a specific request for roses recently and was not disappointed. Blooms went over and above to fulfil my order. Much appreciated. Thank you”

“I am very pleased with the service I have received from the Travel In Style Team. They have been very helpful from the very beginning making our journey from Manchester to Heathrow airport very smooth. The drivers are excellent which makes you feel safe and assured. I would definitely recommend you book your next trip with them.”

“Lovely salon. Booked my nails with Nicole and she never disappoints. Very happy very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Lots of attention to detail would highly recommend”

“I have been consistently attending shavata in Harvey Nicole’s, Manchester after countless recommendations from friends and family, in particular a recommendation of a specific team member/eyebrow techniction called Shakila. After attending many times myself I have to say - her service and skills are second to non and honestly shes so amazing at her job. Always smiling and always making my eyebrows look exactly what I have dreamed of. She’s an asset to the company.”

“I could not recommend this place enough! The experience was so refreshing. They provide great quality nails at a reasonable price and the vibe in the salon is very fun & comfortable. I couldn't be happier, see you guys soon :)”

“We played Space Evaders and Ellen was our host. She explained the game well and only gave clues when we really needed them which was great. The game itself was really fun, we did it as a team of 4 and there was plenty for each of us to do. We've played many escape rooms before and this room offered a loads of puzzles and with varying difficulty, so something for everyone. Would recommend!”

“My first time at Everyman and I was blown away by the fantastic customer service. As soon as we arrived we were wonderful greeted and shown a table before we waited for the screen to be open. A lovely guy with a beard and glasses came and sat to take our order - I couldn’t get over how incredibly friendly and polite he was. The service was worth every penny and the food was delicious.”

“My son and my daughters birthday treat. We didn't book, thee restaurant was busy and we were asked to wait a few minutes whilst a table was being prepared. I ordered the pan fried Salmon, the better half ordered the chicken sizzler, the birthday boy ordered the bang bang and the birthday girl a Chicken burger (yes she's your typical 11 year old. The foodwas geat topped with excellent service from Asad. He treated the birthday twins to the best cheesecake I've ever tasted and a Brownie. Food 10/10 Service 10/10”

“I came in with my granddaughter last week, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Upon walking into the establishment, it felt as if we were transported to New York. As a proud American, I must say I felt right at home! My granddaughter, on the other hand—who is very hard to impress—took her time, but by the time the food arrived, her demeanor had changed. We ordered the Benny's Burger, the schnitzel wrap, and the sweet potato chips. I have to mention that my granddaughter did not make the life of the young lady at the till easy. With the number of notes my granddaughter gave for her schnitzel wrap, I was sure she would be laughed at by our server. Instead, we were met with kind responses, smiles, and absolutely no issues. The food came out very quickly, and all three items we ordered were presented exquisitely! Every note was followed perfectly. The service was probably the best I have experienced in this otherwise abysmal country. I come to England at least twice a year from New York to visit my children and grandkids. I try to give each one time alone with me so I can give each the attention they deserve. My son had mentioned that there was a splendid restaurant I had to try; he has ordered Uber delivery from you a few times. I truly recommend the dine-in experience! I will definitely be returning the next time I come to visit the kids. (I do apologize, as I had intended to share the photographs that were taken. But sadly, only my granddaughter took photos—she has the better phone and therefore the better camera—and she seems to be taking her time sending them to me.)”

“I had a lovely experience at H. Samuel’s in Manchester. I was visiting with a friend and I’d been looking out for a new watch and I found one here that was a little different from what I was used to but Steven (with a V) was very friendly and helpful. I decided to purchase the watch and Steven kindly adjusted it twice by removing links to fit my wrist perfectly. I’m very happy with my new watch and the service I received !”

“The flowers for my Dad's funeral were fantastic. I wanted colorful flowers as he was colorful in life, and they were amazing. Even the funeral home staff said they hadn't seen flowers like that. Thank you so much.”
